Mission Impossible Fallout
Short story shorter – Mission Impossible 6, aka Fallout, is bloody great.

If you are a nerd, then prepare to be either be pedantically enraged or delighted by sheer genius.

Skull and Bones trailer
Skull and Bones isn’t due to be released until 2019 or possibly even 2020. Pirates and programmers are notoriously resistant to deadlines.

This one simple trick means you won’t have to quit Facebook
I have never threatened to quit Facebook but I know a ton of people who have and frankly it’s irksome. Sorry for my language. Most of the time they seem to be the people who post the most and are generally pretty vocal about, well, fucking everything. I remember in olden more naive times – …

Writing and improving productivity
I keep reading about productivity techniques. Which is ironic, as all that reading has made me less productive. I am specifically referring to writing productivity which is the only kind of productivity I give a shit about as I don’t really do anything else. Most writing productivity techniques seem to revolve around having a regular…

I went to Koh Larn and forgot to blog
I haven’t posted a blog for a while. Sorry. I have numerous reason and lame excuses however: I went to a place called Koh Larn, I was reading, I have been writing more fiction, I forgot. Take your pick. Apologies from all senior management here at Word of Ward Towers. Koh Larn I live in…

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
I should preface this by pointing out that I absolutely love the Uncharted games. When they retired Nathan Drake I was both disappointed and sadden by my imminent loss of Uncharted action. What was I going to do? Then Naughty Dog released Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and I realised all was not lost. In fact,…

Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer
The original Red Dead Redemption is one of my all-time top favourite games. It is a work of absolute genius, great mechanics, visuals, story and everything. You also get to play a wild west gunslinger, which Rockstar happily made as fun as it should be. It is up there with being a pirate in Assassin’s…

This made me chortle
As a writer, I tend to be overly wordy. Not today. This made me chortle (which is an old-school precursor to a lol) and I thought I would share. That is all. Hope it cheers you up.

Riding a motorbike over a lake
If you live on a lake and happen to be an impatient nutcase on a motorbike, then this will be of massive interest to you. For everyone else, it is kind of cool. The final and most impressive one across Lake Como had a kind of water-skimming attachment thing on the front wheel but it…

Peter Serafinowicz dubs Trump
Peter Serafinowicz is an English actor and voice over guy. I knew him originally from Spaced but he has since been in a ton of cool things from Alan Partridge to Guardians of the Galaxy. One thing he does, just for a laugh, is to dub over Trump’s voice with a variety of his own.

Movie trilogy meter
I saw this trilogy meter and thought it was fun for about a minute.

World Without End by Ken Follett
World Without End is an epic tale of medieval life with plenty of excitement and dastardly things going on.

It is cold in the UK and apparently I’m not allowed to complain
The UK and big chunks of Europe are all being hit by some mega cold snap right now. In the UK they are calling it the ‘Beast from the East’. It looks damned chilly and I offer my sympathies. Apparently, I can’t complain as I live in Bangkok. My fellow Brits are obsessed with the weather…

Star Wars droids in Raiders of the Lost Ark
I don’t know how the hell this slipped by me unnoticed but the droids from Star Wars appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark. In my defence, I saw the movie three times when it came out in the cinema but I was really young. Then there were a couple of decades where I had…

Sir Patrick Stewart sings Country music
If Sir Patrick Stewart wasn’t already knighted, I would probably have started a petition by now. Or more likely, someone less lethargic probably would have and I’d link to it. The man is a legend and not just because he was Captain Picard, Professor X, and Gurney Halleck. He just seems like a damn good…

Mission Impossible 6 Fallout trailer
Who would have thought after the first couple of Mission Impossible movies that they would keep going and even get better?

Journey’s End movie
Journey’s End was originally a play by RC Sherriff. I studied it as part of my English literature A-level and I still vividly remember the characters and events decades later. It is an incredible play if you ever get the chance to see it. If you don’t, then you can soon watch the film starring…

Humans Need Not Apply
Humans Need Not Apply basically states and explains that most jobs will be replaced by technology. It is pretty much inevitable and there is nothing us meat-sack humans can do about it.

Microsoft Surface Pro 2017
I write for a living, occasionally draw and design book covers, and the rest of the time I read (a lot) and watch stuff on Netflix and Youtube. Portability, battery life and weight were main factors. Being able to play Civilization 6 and Cuphead where just added bonuses. I looked at a lot of hybrids and 2-in-1 options and I kept coming back to the Microsoft Surface Pro 2017. It also has a pen.
